I personally prefer this film over Fallen Kingdom.
This i can agree
I concur.
i agree, much more tolerable and enjoyable. actually has some good bits of dialogue and scenes
Jp3 is much better than the JW movies
Fallen Kingdom has better cinematography, but the story falls short.
The characters in Fallen Kingdom make the Kirbys seem god damn lovable.
rodster6 They sure do, man! I hated everything about Fallen Kingdom.
Oh man, YES. Can't stand that movie or Jurassic World.
*Girl frees murderous dinosaurs*
"I had to... They're alive, like me!"
No, you should have left them to die.

Which characters?
That Ned Flanders joke killed me
Still get that bloody ringtone stuck in my head just thinking about it.
bee dadda dadda da da
Yeah I don’t even have to finish this video to hear it in my head
Made it my actual ringtone
Kirby paint n tile plus, in Westgate!
instablaster...
Splitting Alan and Ellie up was a big mistake IMO. Alan's whole arch in the original film brought him to the realization that he can be a great father and that he and Ellie would start a family. And making his motivation in this film being money YET AGAIN shows a real lack of originality. Great review as always, Oliver!
Yeah, Speilberg went out of his way to contradict the book (the books quality is comparable to the movie but in some parts better) by having them be a couple instead of colleagues.
I agree, it kinda feels like an intentional slap to the face. I doubt that was the intention but it's really aggravating to feel, not even like you could've skipped the first but that you *should've* skipped the first as it seems to retconn (it doesn't but it feels like it) the entire arc of Dr. Grant from the original.
Seems realistic to me
the way you splice the clips together in the beginning of every retrospective almost creates a film trailer that is more engaging than the ones from the film-makers.
Sam Neill is one of my all-time favourite actors. I always love seeing him in a movie, especially if I didn't know he was in the movie in the first place.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the first Jurassic Park is most definitely the best film out of the series however as someone who was born in the mid 90s and thus grew up in the early 2000s, this was my Jurassic Park and the nostalgia I have for this film is insane so I still love it.
Alan!!!!!
Personally I love Jurassic Park 3, maybe it's because it was the first Jurassic Park I saw but I has always been my favourite Jurassic Park film and one of my favourite films.
“RENT! Where is my money “ 🤣😂
Don’t worry, I know OBJECTIVELY the 90s American Godzilla remake sucked but my nostalgia won’t let me believe it and still have the toys
I have a clear, and fond memory of this film.
I was at the end of Navy basic training and had my first taste of freedom in two months.
I went to the local mall and saw this movie.
Good times
"William H Macy plays Ned Flanders" I chuckled, nice one Oliver.
I really love Oliver Harper's Retrospectives :D Does anyone else like to make a nice cup of tea, sit back and even doze off sometimes to these excellent retrospective reviews and mini-documentaries essentially? And unerringly, they always make me want to revisit the spotlighted film, either researching or rewatching :) If you do see this Oliver, please accept my sincere thanks for being who you are and doing what you do :) heading to Patreon now :)
You doze off to these reviews? Somehow I don't think Oliver would consider that a compliment.
britbloc123 hehe I thought that initially! But then I thought about how rare that is - it's actually made me play his videos over and over, which adds up the views I guess - that's kind of like the primary compliment you can give to a RUclipsr! Lol but I see where you're coming from with that :) Just like how you put on that favourite calming album (Oscar Peterson, Vashti Bunyan) to either relax to or even yeah, use to help to get some rest (especially if you have insomnia issues like me), it creates a lot of gratitude :) Add to that how I love film facts and stories, it really just makes Oliver Harper's Retrospectives my favourite channel (now supporting on Patreon too) on RUclips :) hope I clarified :)
Albert C.W. Chessa well said my friend. I personally love the way he arranges both trailers in each video. He gets the right stuff in and sets the mood perfectly.
Even better with a spliff
Not tea though
I worked as a digital compositor on Jurassic world for the intro rainy and underwater sequence, and I just love the vfx segments for all your retrospectives. It’s been fun comparing with this and Jurassic world, I hope I get to work on some shots with amazing sets and animatronics like in this film one day too. Can’t beat that lighting during the daytime shots! Keep up the great work Oliver, fantastic viewing and very educational!
As a teenager, watching this movie in the cinema with my own pocket money was one of the best thing I did experienced! That's why I still treasure this movie even up until now.
I'll never forget the crushing disappointment I felt when seeing this at the cinema. I actually appreciate it as a film now in my later years.
Fantastic retrospective as always Oliver
Thanks Bob!
Children shouldnt play with dead things ya know
I felt the same way too! And I feel the same way now! 😂 But seriously I’ll never forget how angry I was when I left the theatre as an angsty teen 😂
Never understood why people get so worked up about the talking raptor. That happens in dream states a lot. If you've ever left music on during sleep it infiltrates your dream.
Ikr, people are so nitpicky over such trivial things.
@@newbiechu7024 personally I always saw it as a premonition rather than a dream
There are some ideas that, no matter how interesting they may seem on paper, just come across as silly and stupid onscreen.
Literally all they could've done was made it one of the original Raptors from the first movie. Easy peasy.
It also happens shit tons with people who can control their dreams too lol
As much as I loved seeing Sam Neill back as Alan Grant, it annoyed me that he wasn't married to Ellie and that HER replacement was the infinitely annoying Amanda Kirby. Sam deserved a way better film to end on.
Also, fun fact, the original idea for the film's climax was the Spinosaurus facing off and being killed by the Raptor pack. But the filmmakers reasoned that if the Spino could kill a T. rex quickly, then the Raptors wouldn't be much of a threat, ultimately depriving the film of a satisfying finale.
Oscar Stainton similar to Jurassic Worlds ending
Oscar Stainton it would have been awesome. And it's a nice twist on the ending of the first film. There the humans are saved from the raptors by the t-Rex. Here the raptors are the heroes saving the humans from the spinosaurus.
He didn't want kids she did so she married someone that gave her what she wanted if Ellie & Grant stayed together they would've ended up divorced because she pressured him into something he didn't want.
Catspaw, Honestly, I never saw it that way. As a kid watching the first film, my impression was that his time spent with the kids made him more open to having a family with Ellie. They had great chemistry, and everything in the film was hinting towards that for Grant's arc. Having that relationship upturned nullified both that ending and his arc.
@@oscarstainton Yeah, pretty much. It's the time-tested problem of "well if a character is in a good place in their lives, why would they agree to do the thing that puts them in the plot?" Luckily, Jurassic World 2 solved this problem by not having a plot.
"That budget. That dam budget!"
- Ian Malcolm (probably)
Your trailer-like sequences at the beginning and end of the video are amazing.
This production gave my old boss a lot of money. They bought a bunch of trees from his nursery to make the airfield on the “island” look more rustic. Then they returned them all when they were done. He was pretty happy about the whole thing. If you go to Oahu the Dillingham airfield on the north shore is where they filmed parts of the movie. Great skydiving there too if you’re interested.
I'm still surprised JP3 had the balls to kill off the franchise's main star in the first 30 minutes. Like it or hate it it's pretty bold to kill the Rex.
Imagine if Alan Grant had been killed in the plane crash scene.
Still better than to make him like some sort of a SJW like they did in the JW and its sequel.
@@mesicek7 Nothing like somebody bellyaching about 'SJWs' on the internet when the conversation had nothing to do with anything related to it. Way to shoehorn your politics into the conversation, you useless fucking troglodyte. Can you people go a fucking SECOND without bursting at the seams about 'SJWs' this and 'Snowflakes' that - you're fucking annoying. There's more of you bitchboys than actual SJWs. Nobody cares about your sensibilities.
It even broke its fucking neck. hahahaha, what the fuck. lol
Fuzzy Dunlop *slow clap*
Best jp3 review ive ever seen
Thanks dude!
Yes very good review as always @Oliver Harper
Man, I remember this being the first movie I’ve walked out of the theater disappointed as a kid. Despite that, I did watch it a lot as a kid when it came out on DVD.
I hated the Amanda character she wouldn't shut the hell up I was hoping a raptor would eat her sometime in the movie lol 😂
I agree!
The moment I found out that I was tricked into coming to that island to find that kid I would've said "See ya !" to that couple let the dinos have them. Just get my ass off the island.
like what in her right mind is a good idea to scream for all the dinosaurs to hear like my god do you want to be eaten
At last, a JP III review that did it justice where justice is due ..
I always laugh when grant realizes they are gonna land, hes in the middle of his dino talk..such a good scene.
ALAN!
While watching the new Twin Peaks and seeing Laura Dern in her scenes, that line always came to my mind for some reason.
It sums up the movie.
Best moment in the entire series.
What when? When she shouts Alan on the phone? lol I don't get it.
The dream scene.
14:04 If you wanted to know, that's a Ceratosaurus
I thought John Williams did the score for Jurassic Park 3. That's how good I think Don Davis is at scoring movies
I was one of JP Toys forum moderators for a few years. Awesome to see Dan get a shoutout.
I remember as a kid, I saw JP on video and enjoyed it. Then went to the cinema to see The Lost World and was bored to tears, lol. and I somehow didnt know a third one came out until it was on video and enjoyed it a lot more than LW, especially as it had Sam Neill back.
The damn couple was too annoying. If you removed them then the movie wouldnt be as bad
If they were the villains of the movie, it would've worked because this movie lacked a structural narrative in that it lacked a climax. Not just that, there was no villain( the spino doesnt count), which was why the movie was rather dull and didnt flow well with the entire length of the movie. Its just a series of dinosaurs chasing people plus the bland characters that were not interesting at all besides grant, but in its defense its a good action flick of a good thriller. I loved the pteranadon scene and the spinosaur attacking the cage near the end of the movie but only kept annoying me cuz it keeps cutting back to the kid watching barny which ruin the suspense and intensity of the scene. How the hell am i suppose to feel the sere terror of our characters if you keep cutting back to barny. Come on and the ending was rushed which pissed me off
I was hoping the raptor would have actually snatched Mrs. Kirby’s face and dragged her down off the tree limb. Would have made the movie for me
You forgot to mention Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for the PC! Was a sweet game with pretty good graphics. Basically you build a Jurassic Park and research dinosaur DNA for new animals at the park, kind of like Park Builder for the GBA. Heard there was a sequel in the works years later, would be cool.
oh man, this is my childhood right here, i remember asking my dad to buy me the VHS of this movie, good times
also jurassic world sucks ass!!!!
Vcd in my case.
This is a masterpiece compared with Fallen Kingdom.
I gotta say a lot of people say this movie sucks but I always quite enjoyed it. It's definitely not as good as the first one but it's impossible to do better. It's just an enjoyable yet flawed sequel.
Its an entertaining ride, personally I prefer it to JP2 because that film is chock full of annoying actors, dialogue and irritating scenes. The moment they bring the injured t-rex into the trailer always winds me up as its so stupid and then it starts making that god awful annoying sound.
@Beverly Huttinger I wonder what you think of JW and its sequel? Let me guess you have a soft spot for it lmao
as a kid I actually watched the trilogy in reverse order (not intentionally) so I have a fondness for the third movie.
MrBKainX i blame your parents.
I did that but instead of Jurassic Park it was Star Wars, I was pretty confused to say the least
Same tbh. Although I saw 2 and 3 in close proximity. The first I didn't see in its entirety till a little later but I was well aware of certain scenes.
I saw it as a young adult and I thought it was better than the Lost World, that movie was just too cringy. The banter between Jeff Goldblum and his daughter and wife was especially horrific and then there's the scene where she defeats the raptor with fucking gymnastics.
MrBKainX Wow so did you think JP 3 was like an amazing film? Please reply.
I've always found it interesting that Grant is so casual when he sees the dinosaurs flying off at the end. The ones that can't fly are harmless as long as no one goes to the island, but the Pterodactylus can go anywhere. They can even attack things like airliners!
if this was Ju rassic World, the kid would've repaired the airplane all by himself and flown them off!
what I like about his reviews it that it scratches the itch for the movie, in about a quarter of the time
I watched this at a drive thru in a van with fogging windows requiring constant rubbing to clear up. The hilarious irony escaped me at the time, ie goldbloom trex jeep humor.
Grant and Sattler totally hooked up, you can't tell me otherwise JPIII!
1 & 3 are my favorite of the franchise
Oliver, the raptor in the plane saying "Alan!" for me has always been THE best part of JP3. Its shows that Alan is traumatized due to his experience in JP1 in a hilarious way, however we then move on to a pretty "meh" movie with a "meh" plot line. Never understood why THIS scene is "the worst" and not the dozens of scene with Leoni screaming. Oh well.
I suppose people find it scene to be stupid.
i love all your retrospectives, thank you for making this videos, saludos desde México
If it weren't for me finding those toy commercials, they would've not made appearances here in this video! Also, I love this review of this movie, and it's not spreading hatred like everyone else did!
Henderson Productions Cool I'm a fan of your work on youtube.
Thanks for digging up those old ads sir!
No problem. I've been doing so since I love JPIII. I hope to find more if possible.
Oliver all of your videos are amazing, thank you for all your work!
Thank you Oliver for finally giving me a retrospective on JP3...LOVE IT!
P.S. I think I have told you before but the respect of have for you and your crew (Duncan & Richard) is phenomenal. You guys put so much effort into what you do and it doesn't go unnoticed. How I wish I could work with you all with your channel. We have the same interests and love of movies. Anyway, just know you have a lot of awesome fans that LOVE what you do. You are, and have been for a bit, my favorite RUclips channel. Love ya bro!
Nicholas
Still the best of the sequels.
This movie may have been terrible, but at least it had the balls to show some pretty graphic deaths. Jurassic World hid all of the good stuff behind trees and camera angles.
gnarkillguch yeah, that british girls death was so tame. /s
chris passama it was pretty cartoony.
gnarkillguch Jurassic world was micheal bays handjob vision of JP
chris passama it was actually pretty affective, but yeah the one that terrified me in jp3 was the Spinosaur snatches kooper and that was the only scene that was pretty graphic
Top quality review as always! No other movie reviewer even comes close.
Techno-mage
You said it pal
Great work, Oliver! Always love your retrospectives!
William H Macy plays Ned Flanders... you got me good XD
Another great review! I love these retrospectives/reviews!
One of my favorite dinosaur movies!,good job oilver!
I'm a simple man. I see an Oliver Harper Retrospective, I give it a like.

"Allen" Haha that always got me lol
The first JP movie is still my favorite! Great Review Oliver!
Thank you for explaining why I love this movie!
I loved the Spino in this. Aside from Dinosaur, T-Rex was always portrayed as the big mighty predator of dino movies. It's in a way exciting to see a predator that's bigger, stronger and a lot meaner. This was a good decision so its not a repeat of the first 2 movies.
Personally I love Jurassic Park 3, maybe it's because it was the first Jurassic Park I saw but I has always been my favourite Jurassic Park film and one of my favourite films.
Great review as always Oliver. Keep up the good work.
I'm amazed that the absurdity of the kid surviving for eight weeks on his own isn't even mentioned.
Back from work, dinner is ready and you uploaded a new vid. Great :)
Love that you mention how great the visuals and music are - criminally underrated! But you forgot one AMAZING video game: Operation Genesis. That game was awesome, and the music was outstanding.
It is the best entry after part 1 no sequel will ever come close. I think it is 1 of the most underrated movies of all time.
Great stuff as always.
Short-haired Téa Leoni looks like Tom Cruise. :D
She's such a terrible actress.
BirdsElopeWithTheSun She was good in Deep Impact, but that's the only other film I know her for, she was insufferable in JP3 for sure though.
Actually a retrospective of the matrix trilogy would be awesome!
Well articulated, very knowledgeable and the pacing is amazing. I hope you'll also do retrospectives for JW, JWFK and upcoming JW Dominion.
Honestly JP III feels a lot like the second and third Tremors movies. The original was a full-budget summer blockbuster with a well-thought out script and memorable characters then the sequels despite bringing back a fan-favorite or two just didn't feel like a proper continuation of the first film.
In simplest terms... it feels almost like fan-fiction. Someone saw JP and Lost World and thought "Say... what if THIS happened?"
The highlight was the fight between Trex and spino. Shoulda been longer though.
Another excellent retrospective, thanks Oliver :)
I vaguely remember seeing a raptor peeking its head in the background during the fence scene. I wonder if anyone else caught that. Only watched this film once but I think it would be fun to return to it some day.
This is quite a fun movie but the major problem is the lack of any interesting or likable characters other than Alan. There isn't even a large enough cast for their to be many fun deaths.
That and they killed ALL the redshirts off in the first dino encounter.
"The movie was mostly shot on sound stages and back lots."
It definitely shows
The final set piece when the Raptors surrounded them does look like a set probably due to the rushed schedule and constant script changes.
love you're videos keep them coming 10/10
Fantastic retrospective/review. Spot-on. :)
They should've made Eric into Grant and Sattler son, cause then the audience would instantly care and we wouldn't need the kirby's.
I've loved the first Jurassic Park since I was very, very young of course, but I also really liked this one when it came out possibly because I was 10 when I saw it in theaters. However, as an adult I can see that it has one of the dumbest plots of all time.
However, that second script idea about the pteranodons getting out and killing on the mainland sounds pretty intriguing. Maybe the movie could've been a reverse Lost World where the first half has dinosaurs attacking in civilization and the second half is the main characters ending up back on the island as they try to figure out how the pteranodons got out, and of course dino chaos ensues.
Don Davis should do more film scores. He's incredible.
he did the score for the matrix movies
Another fantastic retrospective, my weekend is made! Keep up the great work. Time to go watch the Teen Wolf video now :)
Thanks Jesse!
The velociraptor dream scene KILLS me...and the Navy and the Marines coming to save them is incredibly hamfisted; with the script justifying that tripe with the throw away line that Ellie's husband works for the State Department...eyeroll.
I remember being considerably disappointed leaving the theater that summer, and I remember my expectations not being very high to begin with.
But even with all that griping I guess it could be worse. I give it 2.5/5
Retrocade Podcast
I'd give it 3.5 out of 5
It's not that bad
Retrocade Podcast I think the navy turn up in the first book. A lot of this film was just piecing together bits from the books that hadn’t yet been used
I lost my suspension of disbelief the second that raptor on the plane said "Alan!"
It was a dream sequence. XD
I would like to point out, Spinosaurus is only bigger than T Rex by length. It's bite strength is piss poor compared to the latter. As both a fan of this series, and as a dinosaur enthusiast, I can totally tell that they only chose the Spinosaurus because it looked cool.
Jackeroose98 isn't there a dinosaur called Gigantosaurus that is bigger and 'badder' than T-Rex? Spinosaurus mostly ate fish I believe.
@@THEremiXFACTOR it is, and though discovered in the mid 90s, I think it was always better understood than Spino, since it has better remains.
It's kind of strange they went with Spino instead of Giga, but I'm kinda glad they did, since it let us know about a truly bizarre theropod we might not have otherwise.
Fun Fact: Director Joe Johnston also created & refined the Boba Fett design from Star Wars.
*Come home from work, go to youtube, "Jurassic Park III (2001) Retrospective" uploaded 1 hour ago*
Thank you, Raptor jesus
Assiman
He went extinct for your sins.
People diss on the dream scene, but the series' lowest point was seeing Malcom's daughter swinging on that pole and kicking that raptor.
Techno-mage Right? Gymkata was used in a JP movie. What was Spielberg thinking?
People go on and on about the gymnastics scene. It's one scene, in an all-round thrilling survival adventure. Let it lie. TLW's a great film.
This annoys me no end, cos people reference the Alan thing A LOT, it makes sense! It might be silly, but there's a logic to it. The gymnastics however...*monumentally* stupid. They even set it up awkwardly and it has no purpose whatsoever.
Alan's dream shows that he has ptsd, what the fuck was such a dumb scene doing in TLW in the first place and what were we supposed to get from it.
Bloody useless Oh no, the Gymkata Jr scene is just the tip of TLW's shitberg. There's so much more wrong with it. I'm working right now so I don't have the 5 or 6 hours required to type out everything silly about it.
Alan!
Great analysis as usual Oliver!
Omg that dumary on the beggining is epic
Awesome, you've reviewed the whole trilogy.
Great channel, keep the good work!
Another excellent review.
Thank you very much Mr Bones!
Major flaws of the movie:
1) the spino actually chases them, in reality it wouldnt bother since they are small game with no nutrition value. And even when he kills one it doesnt eat him, so practically he kills for fun something animals dont do.
2) the spino diet was mainly fish so it would stay near water mainly and not in the forest.
3) the spino and t rex lived in different periods. Even if such an encounter would happen they probably wouldnt fight, since both arent protecting something like their nest or young. Also each one would rather leave since a fight would be very risky and with no practical value (animals arent stupid you know)
4) searching for something bigger than the t rex lead to a failed option chosing a mainly aquatic hunter, even its teeth were much smaller than the t rex for this reason.
5) in jp1 the encounters with the t rex were just bad luck and random, it wasnt chasing them, unlike the spino that seemed it had personal issues with them.
6) the phone thing is ridiculus, it would be impossible to hear the ringing with all that flesh around it, plus the diggestive system of the spino would immediately destroy it.
7) when an area is restricted it has patrols that search for intruders so no boat would come near yet alone paragliding for fun. Or a plane landing.
8) you just DONT kill the t rex.....is a no no for jp fans.
9) even if an animal is a herbivor doesnt mean its cute and safe to come close, especially if it weights many tons (brachiosaurus encounter), it could kill you in an instant if it feels threatened.
10) in the t rex spino fighting scene we see that the t rex clearly gives a very good bite in the spinos neck, this would probably end the fight there since the spino would be criticaly wounded and bleeding to death, remember the t rexs teeth are inches long and sharp and it had an enormous bitting strenth.
Once again another great video from you, keep up the good work. I would really love to see your retrospective/review on the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
The laboratory scene is an interesting plot point that was part of the 2nd book (The Lost World), which Spielberg completely ignored, along with most of the plot of the book. I appreciate that they lifted a lot of scenes from both books for JP3, but they should have been in the 2nd movie, not this one.
There's just something really missing from this one, the sense of adventure isn't really there, it's more of a monster movie than a adventure movie with monster elements. It just seems very lazily wrote and rushed, it's actually quite dark in tone compared to the first two.
AWESOME review!!! Thanks!
FINALLY...someone else thinks that William H. Macy looks like a live action Ned Landers in this film! It wasn't just me! XD
Love the Easter egg when Erick name drops Malcolm's book in the movie.
Nice coverage of the effects and the Music.
